Volkan Oezdemir

The French-speaking mixed martial arts fighter Volkan Ozdemir is called the Volcano of the Alps by journalists. In professional circles, the athlete received the nickname No Time, as he often wins in the first seconds of the fight.

The athlete was born in the fall of 1989 in the Swiss Friborg (Freiburg), more than a quarter of whose population are students of the local university. Volkan's mother is Swiss, and his father is Turkish Kurd.

It is not known exactly what nationality Ozdemir Jr. belongs to and what kind of fighter of his religion. Most Kurds are Muslim, but there are also Christians, Yezidis, Jews and Baha'is among them. However, in one of the interviews, the athlete stressed that he was 100% Swiss by culture.

There is little information about Volkan's childhood and youth. Before joining mixed martial arts, the guy was engaged in kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. He entered the octagon, following the example of his friend Alistair Overeem, a fighter of Jamaican-Dutch origin, whose maternal ancestor was the grandson of the Russian Emperor Paul I - King of the Netherlands William III.

The athlete, whose height is 185 cm, and weight is 93 kg, prefers to keep his personal life behind a curtain. Photos of battles prevail on Ozdemir's Instagram. “I came out of nowhere, I try to avoid negative comments from outsiders,” says Volkan, whose other UFC nickname is Cousin.

Only in one interview, Volkan mentioned that he had a lover in Europe, but for the sake of a career in the UFC he had to part with the girl. Moving to America also separated Ozdemir from his family and former friends.

Ilir Latifi has pulled out of his bout against Volkan Oezdemir at UFC Fight Night in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday due to a back injury. New co main event is Jimi Manuwa versus Aleksandar Rakic.

The athlete's body is free of tattoos. Volkan is left-handed, Ozdemir's arm span is 191 cm.

In August 2017, Volkan was charged with beating a man outside a bar in the resort town of Fort Lauderdale in southern Florida. However, law enforcement agencies soon dropped the accusations against the Swiss, explaining the change in position by the victim's refusal to cooperate with the investigation.

Ozdemir joined professional MMA in 2010 and won nine wins before being allowed to fight at Bellator. The debut turned out to be more than successful: in the first battle, the Swiss knocked out American Josh Lanier in the 1st round. In early 2017, Ozdemir signed a four-fight contract with the UFC.

In May 2017, Volkan set a kind of record by sending Mikhail Tsirkunov, who lives in Canada, to a knockout in the 28th second of the fight. Russian Alikhan Vakhayev resisted much more stubbornly to Ozdemir in 2016: although the decision to win the Swiss was unanimously adopted by the judges, the fight lasted 5 minutes.

Since the beginning of 2018, Volkan has been plagued by setbacks in the Octagon. In 14 months, Ozdemir suffered three defeats in three battles. The Swiss were defeated by Daniel Cormier, Anthony Smith and Dominique Reyes.

In August 2019, in the Uruguayan Montevideo, Ozdemir defeated Ilir Latifi, a Swede with Albanian roots. At the end of 2019, Volkan interrupted the streak of victories of the Austrian Serbian origin Alexander Rakic ​​in the UFC. The duel took place in the South Korean city of Busan, which became famous after the release of the film directed by Yong Sang Ho about zombies. As of March 9, 2020, Rakic ​​was ranked ninth in the UFC light heavyweight rankings, while Ozdemir was sixth.

In the spring of 2020, Volkan trained in Thailand and prepared for fights with potential rivals - Brazilian Thiago Santos and two-time UFC title contender, Swede Alexander Gustafsson. The Swiss wants to win not by voting by the judges, as in the case of Rakic, but by knocking out his opponent. The statistics of the past years show that over 70% of the victories Volkan won by inflicting a blow on the opponent, after which the opponent could not get up.
